Import Tips
• Verify machine specifications match 'slitting line' definition; provide technical drawings and end-use certificates to avoid misclassification as general presses
• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety standards; common pitfall is incomplete electrical documentation for customs clearance
• Declare exact shearing capacity and flat product compatibility to qualify for this subheading
